Hey Greg, > I think you should be talking to hardware people about this, as this is > almost always due to hardware limitations/issues/design decisions. To be honest, I anticipated a response along these lines (after briefly speaking to another individual on this matter). They commented on how this decision was usually made and asserted by the hardware engineer(s). > The PCI-SIG should have a bunch of resources about this, have you looked > into that? I haven't as of yet, but I'll shift focus onto their resources next. Do any specific resources of theirs spring to mind offhand? No worries if not - I'm not afraid to spend time searching them out. Thanks for the quick response and your time. :) Jack
